Ezekiel 14:14-21

Rotherham(i) 14 Then, should these three men be in the midst thereof, Noah, Daniel, and Job, They, by their righteousness, should deliver their own lives––Declareth My Lord, Yahweh. 15 If, a mischievous wild beast, I suffer to pass through the land, and that beast bereave, it, so that it become too desolate for any man to pass through, by reason of the wild beast, 16 [Were] these three men in the midst thereof, As I live, Declareth My Lord, Yahweh, Surely, neither sons nor daughters, should they deliver, They alone, should be delivered, But, the land, should become a desolation. 17 Or, a sword, I should bring upon that land, and should say, O sword! thou shalt go through the land, and so I should cut off therefrom, man and beast, 18 Were these three men in the midst thereof, As I live! Saith My Lord, Yahweh, They should deliver neither sons nor daughters,––For, they alone, should be delivered. 19 Or, pestilence, I should send into that land,––and should pour out mine indignation thereon in blood, to cut off therefrom, man and beast, 20 Were Noah, Daniel and Job in the midst thereof, As I live, Declareth My Lord, Yahweh, Surely neither, son nor daughter, should they deliver, They, by their righteousness, should deliver [only] their own lives. 21 For, thus, saith My Lord, Yahweh, How much less [should they avail] when, my four calamitous judgments, sword, and, famine, and, mischievous wild beast, and, pestilence, I have sent against Jerusalem,––to cut off therefrom, man and beast?
